  • How to register a new callback endpoint URL

I am trying to setup a new callback notification with my account that will send notifications to my specified URL when transctions are received into my account.
Is there an example of how to register such a callback anywhere, for example using curl? I'm struggling to find any clear instructions on how to create a new webhook notification endpoint - certainly it seems to be missing from both the docs and beta docs.

Thanks a lot

    I attempted to register a callback using the bunq Desktop app, but encountered the following error when submitting my endpoint URL:
    `Something went wrong
    We failed to update your user information:

    Superfluous field "notification_filters".

    Response-Id: fbc40abb-d05e-425b-a05d-7852e73f643f`

      Also attempted with the python tinker - same error

      bunq.sdk.exception.BadRequestException: HTTP Response Code: 400
      The response id to help bunq debug: 3964de47-01a6-47f7-b597-55c3a84f7826
      Error message: Superfluous field "notification_filters".

        The Python tooling I made to synch with YNAB contains a toggle_callback.py function you could use.

        The API uses custom signing that is hard (but not impossible) to do with curl. Look for the X-Bunq-Client-Signature header in the documentation.

        You got further with the SDK than I did, but the error message looks familiar. Sometime ago, bunq broke their own API by changing how the notification_filters field works. Looks like they haven't updated their tinker tool to reflect that.

          @Bastiaan#138958 Thank you both for your responses.

          I attempted to use postman to set my endpoint url with the following GET request:

          {{host}}/v1/user/{{user_id}}/notification-filter-url?category=PAYMENT&notification_target={{server_url}}

          The above returns the following error:
          {
          "Error": [
          {
          "error_description": "The request signature is invalid.",
          "error_description_translated": "The request signature is invalid."
          }
          ]
          }

          I'm not too sure how to sign the request using postman. Would you be able to point me towards any resources on this?
          Many thanks

            @Andrew-Indigo-Akita#139016 Hi Andrew

            You have to perform a POST request instead of a GET.
            The simplest way is to copy one of the other POST requests from bunq's Postman collection and change the URL of the new one.

            For example:

            ℹ Add your API key to the environment settings and run Create an installation, Add the device, Add a session before running the request above. For more info see https://github.com/bunq/postman or https://medium.com/bunq-developers-corner/the-bunq-api-starters-guide-6ce56b12d370

              @Bastiaan#139036 Perfect, thank you very much!
